Chapter 149 Begins to seize power(2/2)
However, Lin Hao felt that this situation was extremely slim.
After all, Lei Meng has been hiding his identity all this time and obviously has nothing to do with Yan Chen. He even declined the other party's invitation and wanted to focus on martial arts.
If analyzed in this way, Lei Meng and Qin Yu are obviously on opposite sides.
If there is a mutiny at tomorrow's celebration, the two brothers will eventually confront each other with swords!
Thinking of this, Lin Hao frowned slowly.
The calm mood suddenly became complicated and solemn at this moment.
As soon as noon passed, it was approaching early morning.
The bustling streets are still bustling with activity.
All civilians are celebrating the National Day of their Great Yan Dynasty and staying up late looking forward to the grand ceremony that will be held tomorrow morning.
However, in this festive atmosphere, groups of city defense troops began to appear on the streets.
These city defense troops were obviously mobilized from the imperial city.
They are thickly armored and fully armed, and each soldier has a serious look on his face, as if he is facing a powerful enemy.
The top officer of the Public Security Bureau, Ma Yu, was surprised when he received the news for the first time.
Although the National Day ceremony is about to be held, the Imperial City has experienced a large increase in the foreign population in recent times, resulting in a somewhat complicated public security order.
However, with the current strength of the security army, there is not much pressure to cope with it. It seems that there is no need to send the imperial city defense army to support it, right?
Moreover, those city defense troops had a murderous air and wore bright costumes that were not meant for festivals, but were completely prepared for war!
Isn’t it suitable for a festival that takes place once every ten years?
After Director Ma Yu's analysis and some inside stories he knew a while ago, he immediately saw something amiss.
"It seems that the Imperial City is going to change."
The director of the Public Security Department stood at the office window with a heavy expression on his face, frowning as he looked at a group of city defense troops walking quickly on the street.
With that posture, he seemed to be planning to take over the work of the security team.
The more Director Ma Yu thought about it, the more something was wrong. He turned back to the office, then called his subordinates and asked them to go to General Qin's Mansion immediately to ask for instructions.
He used to be in the army and was a subordinate of Qin Xiong. Later, he broke an arm on the battlefield and was seriously injured. He was no longer suitable to continue leading troops in war.
Qin Xiong arranged a position for him as the director of the Public Security Bureau of the Imperial City. He was usually responsible for commanding the patrolling security team to maintain order. The job was easy and the salary was not low.
So far, he has always kept Qin Xiong's kindness in mind. Although he is no longer his direct subordinate, he is still loyal.
About half an hour later, the news that Director Ma Yu was waiting for was all bad news.
The team he sent out this time was also extremely cautious. There were four men in total, all starting from four different directions.
However, everyone said that there were city defense troops blocking their way to the Qin Mansion.
And there was also a piece of information. Just as he had guessed, the city defense troops forcibly took over the security team's patrol in the city.
"Damn it, are the city defense troops going to rebel?"
Director Ma Yu suddenly became angry.
At this moment, a young man dressed as a city defense officer walked into the office.
This man was burly and dark-skinned, and he was clearly none other than Raymond.
At this time, his identity had changed again, and the badge on his body was that of a deputy commander of the city defense army.
"Director Ma Yu, please listen to military orders!"
Raymond looked indifferent, staring at Director Ma Yu who was looking at him, and said bluntly: "In order to ensure the smooth progress of the celebration, from now on, all public security and affairs in the city will be officially taken over by the third regiment of our city defense army!
"
"In addition, all the troops from the Public Security Department are temporarily assigned to the Third Regiment of the City Defense Army for deployment and assistance. Please cooperate."
Director Ma Yu was obviously an experienced person, and he said in a low voice: "It's useless to talk more. Show us your military orders, otherwise our Public Security Department will not obey any arrangements or transfers!"
Hearing this, a smile appeared on Raymond's lips, he took out a military order from his storage ring and placed it directly on his desk.
Director Ma Yu frowned and immediately picked up the military order and looked at it carefully.
But I saw above that the content was the same as what Raymond said, and there was also the signature of the city defense army commander "Bob Xiong" and the seal of the military headquarters.
The name of the person who stamped the seal was none other than Taiwei Wang, one of the members of the military headquarters.
Director Ma Yu looked at the military order in his hand, his eyes slightly dazed, and suddenly he felt a chill in his heart.
Sure enough... something is going to happen!!
The imperial capital city has always had clear orders.
The Public Security Department is responsible for order within the city, while the City Defense Army guards the city and is responsible for peripheral security.
The two sides have a clear division of labor, one internal and one external, and they have always stayed within the same boundaries.
However, now the city defense army wants to interfere with the power of the Public Security Bureau and take over the rule.
All these changes are nothing short of rebellion.
After all, to fully take over the security of the imperial capital, military orders are only superficial. In fact, they need the order from Lord Yan before they can be truly implemented!
"I'm sorry, but without the emperor's personal order, our Public Security Department will not accept the dispatch of your city defense army!"
Director Ma Yu's face was solemn, his eyes were staring at Raymond fiercely, and his tone was tough.
"In that case, there is no need to say anything more."
Raymond's eyes darkened slightly, and the hand on the sword hilt moved suddenly.
Swish——!
The sword light passed by, and Director Ma Yu's neck suddenly showed a hint of scarlet.
The next moment, a scar appeared in his throat, and a large amount of blood oozed out.
"you……"
Director Ma Yu covered his neck with his hands and looked at Raymond in horror.
Obviously, he didn't expect that the young man in front of him would be so ruthless!
Immediately he couldn't lift it up in one breath and fell to the ground dead.
"Director!"
At the door of the office, two security guards noticed the movement and rushed in in shock and anger.
Puff!!
However, just as they were about to draw their weapons, two long swords were thrust into their backs and penetrated straight through their chests.
At this time, senior officials from the Public Security Bureau in other offices also discovered Ni Duan and came with their men to check.
hiss--!
When they saw the three corpses on the ground, they suddenly took a breath of fear.
"You bastards, you city defense troops dare to come here to assassinate you! And you openly killed Director Ma Yu!!"
The deputy director headed by him was a middle-aged man with a mustache. He was shocked and angry at the moment, staring at Raymond and yelling.
"This person disobeyed military orders and will be killed without mercy according to military regulations!"
There was a chill in the corner of Raymond's mouth, and he threw the military order directly to the deputy director and said: "The Third Regiment of the City Defense Army will come to take over the Public Security Department on time. Please cooperate with us."
After the voice fell, I saw a burst of neat footsteps coming from outside.
The expressions of the officials and deputy director of the Public Security Department changed slightly, and they immediately looked out to the courtyard, only to see that it was already filled with people from the city defense army!
These guys are fully armed, murderous, and as terrifying as wolves and tigers.
Seeing this scene, the deputy director's heart skipped a beat.
At the same time, he was sensitively aware of the unfamiliar commander of the city defense army in front of him. His palm was pressed on the hilt of his sword, and a cold light surged.
He suddenly felt terrified in his heart. If he dared to refuse now, he might immediately turn into a corpse like Director Ma Yu!
But once they cooperate, the development of the situation will be uncontrollable!
The deputy director's frightened and angry eyes were filled with hesitation.
However, looking at the corpse on the ground, he did not dare to resist vocally. He frowned and said, "We can cooperate with the Public Security Department, but the prerequisite is that we are not allowed to disturb the order in the city."
Having said this, the deputy director added, "Also, my personal safety must be ensured!"
Hearing this, other Public Security Department officials also immediately came to their senses and hurriedly said: "There are still us."
Seeing this, Raymond smiled faintly and said, "As long as you cooperate with the dispatch of our city defense army, I will ensure your safety!"
"Yes Yes……"
Everyone immediately nodded with interest.
At this time, in order to save their lives, they did not care about any coup or rebellion.
Chapter completed!
